It adopts a practical, transaction-based approach, examining the different stages of the relationship in turn and the legal issues that arise along the way. Based on an acclaimed Australian text, it has been completely revised for a UK readership, incorporating all relevant UK caselaw. The inclusion of cases and analysis from other jurisdictions provides insights not available from UK cases alone.
